SELF-GENERATING GAS-LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 7,594, dated August 27, 1850.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SI-IARPLESS CLAYTON and YARNALL BAILY, of theborough of Vest Chester, county of Chester and State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Construction of Lampsfor Burning Fluid; and the following is a full and clear and exactdescription of the principle or character which distinguishes it fromall other lamps known and of the manner of making, constructing, andusing the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The nature of our invention consists in forming a beautiful gas lightfrom fluid, by extending the wick through the common fluid lamp tubeinto a spheroid or other shaped ball or cavity, in which it is coiled,giving an opportunity of generating gas by means of two or three smalljets, D, D, D, as represented in Figure 1, from small apertures orholes, underneath the ball, which are lit in the usual way by means ofheat. The gas escapes through a small ball or burner on the top, with aslit or other opening in it.

The construction is as follows: A represents the tube; B, the ball orcavity into which the wick is extended and coiled; C, the burner; and D,D, D, the jets. Fig. 2, represents a view of the tube and burnerdetached. Fig. 3, represents a section of the same.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patentis The extension of the wick into a ball or cavity where the gas may begenerated by means of jets as above set forth.
